RESOURCEFUL
MENTORING
The government has announced
more funding for an online
mentoring program designed
to increase gender diversity in
the resources sector. Minister
for Employment and Minister
for Women, Michaelia Cash,
announced an additional
$490,000 to maintain the
Australian Women in Resources
Alliance e-mentoring program.
This has helped to connect more
than 200 women with experienced
male and female mentors since
2013. The resources sector is
dominated by men, with women
comprising just 17 per cent of the
national workforce, compared to
46 per cent across all industries.
UNREQUITED LOVE
Nine out of 10 people say they have fancied somebody at work
but decided to do nothing about it. The survey, conducted
by a British employment law consultancy, found that the
majority were too scared to start an office romance
just in case they fell foul of harassment
policies and lost their job. According to
Protecting.co.uk, British workplaces
are filled with aspiring Romeos and
Juliets, but the great tragedy is that
they’re simply too worried that their
clumsy approaches might be misconstrued,
with disastrous results. “This is probably the
saddest survey we’ve ever done,” says the firm’s
Mark Hall, “and further proof that the course of
true love never does run smooth”.
NEW ERA
APPRENTICESHIPS
With the number of
apprenticeships in decline, the
government is exploring new,
higher-level academic training for
young people that will give them
access to high-paying jobs. In
conjunction with the Australian
Industry Group, one pilot scheme
will train apprentices in digitised
manufacturing, including 3D
metal printing and virtual reality.
A second pilot, in par tnership with
PricewaterhouseCoopers, will be
geared towards jobs in business,
IT and professional ser vices.
Rather than the traditional
cer tificate III or IV level
qualifications,
apprentices will be
awarded diplomas and
advanced diplomas.
By 2020, the LMS market is tipped
to be worth more than $11 billion.
